Hi Chris and Tweeters folks,

Yeah, I agree. It is the wierdest thing I had been thinking of posting about finding out if anyone has seen any Redhead ducks lately and there is one right under my nose.

Also was thinking about posting if anyone has seen any other reliable Gyrfalcon's besides the Snohomish one that I just can't seem to hook up with now I have a scope....Maybe I will get off work today and see one at the bus stop once I get over 520. Dreaming....

Hey if it works I will be the first to let you all know.

I am enjoying the Redhead thing though. What did you do at lunch today? Oh, I walked down the dock to check out a gorgeous redhead...

One of my co-workers with a nice camera got some great pictures I am hoping of that hunky redhead this afternoon.
